"I am always on the women's side."

--

Mary Boykin Chesnut

“We need a type of patriotism that recognizes the virtues of those who are opposed to us..... The old "manifest destiny" idea ought to be modified so that each nation has the manifest destiny to do the best it can - and that without cant, without the assumption of self-righteousness and with a desire to learn to the uttermost from other nations.”
“I am a focused person. I am a fighter.”
“I think technology has changed America, not any one organization. Technology is taking the power away from the few. There'll be a lot more choices, and good people who are doing serious stuff will survive and there'll be a lot more voices, and that is very healthy.”
“I think I can regard myself as a political decision-maker.”
“I never buy magazines, I never even buy books.”
“Prayer must carry on our work as much as preaching; he preacheth not heartily to his people that will not pray for them.”
“However passionate, sinning, and rebellious the heart hidden in the tomb, the flowers growing over it peep serenely at us with their innocent eyes; they tell us not of eternal peace alone, of that great peace of "indifferent" nature: they tell us, too, of eternal reconciliation and of life without end.”
“Call me crazy - I love elk meat!”
